... 5   2.1 General Site-specific evaluation of design earthquake ground motions considers the source effects, path effects, and site effects, as schematically illustrated in Figure 2-1. The source and path effects are evaluated at the seismic hazard assessment stage of the project and are, at a minimum, reported as the hypothetical bedrock outcrop acceleration response spectrum.
